City Planner, Jacqueline Koch presented the information that the Commission desired the Board to review the ordinances and make recommendations. City Planner stated in comparison of the ordinances to the original C-I and C-2 ordinances, the new ordinances are more estensive in listing the specifically allowed uses; example: C-2 had five listings previously, now has thirty-nine. This is to try to reduce the number of special expections and clarify the City's position on certain types of uses. The City Planner continued with in C-I there are a couple of things mentioned that are not covered in the law either now, the way they are referred to: utilities and community buildings, such as a library. Most of our public utilities are in C-l right now. They are pretty much allowed to put their facilities anywhere they are needed. We have two, Nowsco and Souther Bell which are in C-I who were allowed to build automatically without any special approval. Should we add a reference or was that discussed and was it omitted intentionally? L. Grove stated a lot of things like this were omitted so that they could be taken at their ~Nn value in that location, and handled separately. So, by not being mentioned here they would have to go before the Board of Adjustment and could be handled on their own merit. Koch inquired if there was any talk of a Public Utilities as conditional use, as in R-U it is a conditional use. Grove stated that each one would be weighed on its own merit; where it is, what it is going to create, what kind of problems, etc. But this was not intended to make it more difficult, but not to just automatically let it be used, or allowed in an area. Discussion then pursued on city facilities and what type zonings they covered. Koch inquired as to the new facility the City is planning on building, would the City have to go before the Board for a Special Exception? Grove stated yes. Koch inquired if a police station could go under administrative buildings. Grove and Weiss responded yes, discussion then followed on the matter. Koch inquired as to a garage, would it be considered under administrative buildings; example: police garage where they re- pair the vehicle. Koch stated either that or our Public Works, who alos does repairs on vehicles. Or is this intended to mean just offices in C-l? DeFazio stated garages should be in C-2. Discussion. The discussion brought forth that administrative buildings meant just overseeing not maintenance and repairs. C. Kaehler recommended Planning and Zoning Bd Meeting June 30, 1982 Page 2 , .... then that this be added. Mr. Hatfield inquired to the Board whether they were concerned with existing property and zoning or assigning it for future use. Koch, responded more so with future use and anything existing would be grand- fathered in. C. Kaehler made a motion to add another item to Ordinance 265; public maintenance buildings be located in C-2. Seconded by DeFazio. Vote. All aye. Motion carried. C. Kaehler mentioned that Convenience Stores and Markets can be viewed as retail groceries. Discussion then pursued on methods to distinquish between retail groceries and Convenience Stores/Markets based on square footage. Weiss inquired as to the difference between full service gas stations and a regular service station. Whether it was meant in the ordinance as just gas pumps or full garage service with mechanic. Discussion. City Planner stated that by qualifying gas stations to have to provide repair services, this has had an impact on convenience stores, which have only pumps. The Board recommends retail grocers be modified to be at least 5000 square feet in C-l. Recreation vehicles was questioned by Weiss as to whether it meant the manufacturing or just sales. Koch responded it should be retail sales and not manufacturing. Dis- cussion on the topic. Weiss inquired what classification would dental laboratories be under, and blood testing types of clinics. Discussion. Medical laboratories and clinics are included in the ordinance, stated the City Planner. L. Grove made a motion to add laboratories for testing materials and chemical anaylsis and the manu- facturing and assembly of scientific and optical precision instruments and equipment in C-2. Seconded by Weiss. Discussion. Vote. C. Kaehler, no; all other aye. Motion carried. DeFazio questioned drive-in movie theatres in C-2. Discussion. Motion made by L. Grove to delete drive-in movie theatres under item number 17, ordinance 265. Seconded by Weiss. Vote. All aye. Motion carried. C. Kaehler questioned the vocational schools in C-2 and private schools in C-l, asking what a private school teaching a vocation would be classified under. Discussion. C. Kaehler made a motion to strike "vocational" from C-2 and add to C-l. Seconded for discussion by L. Grove. Grove stated she would like to see vocational classified a little bit better. Discussion. C. Kaehler amended her original motion to read: Service Vocational Schools. Seconded by L. Grove. Vote. All aye. Motion carried. City Planner brought up the fact that the old ordinance prohibited any outdoor display of merchandise or products. L.
